some of the days off we're going and headlining, we're doing some stuff with The Datsuns, in Australia that is, but here, we've always heard about this [the Big Day Out] and we've never got to do it. For Metallica after 12 years to still find a first to do is really cool. Plus we get to be in the summertime again.
WTF? WHO are they touring with, again? I've never heard of them. 12 years? Is that a bitch slap to the previous years, the METAL years? Summertime? You mean, like Sisqo? James Hetfield and Sisqo, brothers in homosexuality!
What are the oldest Metallica songs you still play? I know you play a couple off 'Kill 'em All', from the look of recent set lists.
Oh yeah. We're playing stuff from 'Kill 'em All' all the way up to 'St Anger', 'Seek and Destroy' is always a great one to play.
Too little, too late, retard.
St Anger going over well?
I definitely dont get a rest on any of those songs!!
Unlike my CD player, which always takes a rest from those songs.
Its was filmed over the process of making St Anger, is that right?
Yeah, two years of struggle, pretty much, after Jason left, me going into rehab, and us not knowing if the band was gonna continue, it was pretty interesting that a film crew was there, starting it. It was just gonna be a 'making of' the record, it turned into something more.
Continue? On what album, cause' St Anger wasn't it! Metallica ceased to exist to me after AJFA!
Well you know, we share struggles, trying to stay clear and present, we dont really communicate much, we're doing a lot of communicating within the four of us, in the band... I wasn't around when he (Mustaine) was there, I was doing my own soul searching.
Translation: "We kicked Mustaine out because I feared him. Even after he sold out and and quit Megadeth, I STILL fear his ass." ROFL!
Old thrash bands, Exodus, Nuclear Assault, Death Angel reforming, touring, what do you think about that? Great.
Translation: "Those must be metal bands, because I've ever heard of em', but I think Kirk mentioned Exodus once or twice. Whatever, I'll just say something to smooth it over."
Kirk was in Exodus, and ahh, theyve gone though some tough stuff too, their original singer died, and those other bands, they were all around when we were growing up, and starting.
T: "Oh yeah, that's why Kirk mentioned them. I'll quickly gather up what I remember of those conversations."
I means its great, if they want to do it, why not... I mean if it feels right, if it feels good, some bands have survived, and some bands needed to go away and then come back when metal got, kinda together again.
T: "They are? Who knew?!"
Metal... hmmm what do I consider metal... Mars Volta... that's not really metal, Queens of the Stone Age...
Yeah, you know, METAL. The reason you began playing music, tard. You know, the FIRST PART OF YOUR BAND'S NAME! Get a clue, moron!
I like Hatebreed too, but they're not death metal by any stretch of the imagination. Is this the same guy who wrote songs like Master of Puppets and Dyers Eve?
Yeah we're getting some of that stuff, and it's cool to thow on and see whats going on out there, you know, you can really get wrapped up in you own stuff, for a while, I definitely dont listen to our stuff all the time! When you've just made an album and you're so intense on your stuff, you're not reaching out for other kinds of stuff. When you're making a record, you're not on your time off, resting your ears with Hatebreed you know! (laughs).
The last one was for the Black album?
Actually I think 'The Call of Ktulu' on S&M, but its really great to still be nominated.
T: "Yeah, it'd be great to collect on Mustaine's work again. Other than that, I've completely lost touch with all that is old skool, hence the lack of grammies."
But, I digress, St. Anger really is a good alternative album. Really.
